Elon's Antics

Free Speech Absolutist doesn't just "allow" free speech on his platform, he's once again shown he "supports" free speech off his platform as well.

In a move more characteristic of autocratic regimes like Russia and China than the United States, the long-running Boston band the Dropkick Murphys have had their account on X (formerly Twitter) suspended, after a series of aggressive comments directed at President Donald Trump, his sidekick Elon Musk — who acquired the company in 2022 — and their followers.

The band’s singer, Ken Casey, has a long history of going after Trump, but after a series of comments directed toward MAGA supporters at the band’s concerts and, most recently, an interview on the left-leaning news platform MedasTouch, the group found its account suspended late Monday.

That's a one way ticket tho. The body would be so weakened that you most likely won't survive the trip back.

I doubt it's even a one way ticket. It's probably vaporware.

TSLA back down below pre-election levels. Still about 226 dollars too high if you ask me, but at least there’s progress.

If he keeps up his antics he'll either be booted out of the company or it will indeed go down to the minus.

We will soon see stickers on Tesla's saying: I was able to buy this because Trump and Musk ruined it.

Funnily enough I have been seeing quite a few more Model 3's popping up in the area I live in over the last month. Though it isn't too surprising given that this is central Ohio, which is not only one of the reddest of red states but also an area where nobody really gives two shakes of a dead skunk's tail about what you're driving.

I presume that what I've been seeing are secondhand cars snagged by people who had been sitting on the waiting list for some time, so that likely means more orders cancelled, more new inventory sitting around unsold and less money going into Musk's pockets, all of which I'm perfectly fine with.
